I sort of thought that was a silly thing to do because what if life threw you a curve ball and you couldn't write the POV. You'd suffer for it. But that's just me.
Not just you. This sort of thing has been around almost as long as D&D... bonus XP for extra activities. Hell, older editions outright encouraged it, having tables for individual XP awards in the DMG and everything.
I like everyone to be moving along at the same clip, so I don't do these things. But the concept is still very much the norm among "serious roleplayers". On one mailing list I read, someone is designing a game entirely based around this, where there are explicit awards for performing specific RP.
The GM for the Exalted game I play in does the bonus EXP for extra stuff thing, but by "extra stuff" he means like... doing a whole bluebook, or drawing art of peoples' characters, or so on. Things that actually require a little effort and creativity. Plus he doesn't hand out a ton of extra EXP for it, either, just a little, so it more encourages people to do extra side stuff that everyone ends up enjoying than anything.
